This recent article by Walter Williams calls Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Nonsense.

RayRay, I never heard of this man till you posted that link, He seems like a reasonable thinker... I must say I think he found a new fan.
I'm a huge proponent of better education in our society (no I don't think it involves spamming charter schools... my wife used to be a teacher, she has very convincing arguments why they are trash that I'm not going to go into now).
Unlike many others though, with the advent of the internet I see positive change coming as the collective of human knowledge is literally at the fingertips of almost all Americans. So I'm actually optimistic about the future of our species. Anyway, I tend to agree with the position that over time with better education, you'll start to see more minorities in hard sciences.
In my graduating class, I believe I was the only Native, there were quite a few Russians, quite a few Middle Easterners, and no shortage of Asians. There were relatively few American citizens (whites included).
